   the rich always want to be the opposite of the poor – historically, poverty meant being skinny due to starvation, so it was desirable to have weight. it showed health and wealth. From Coco Chanel onwards though, the trend flipped – weight was for plebs and being slender is for those who can afford fancy food and don’t need the calorific energy to do hard work.

   my mam used to give me a tonic cos she thought I want too skinny. have a few friends who used to get them too. think they were pretty popular in the old days when nutrition wasn’t what it is now

      Vivioptal. Mum was a great fan of that. She dosed me up on it around my Leaving Cert so I wouldn’t die of a chill in my kidneys or somesuch.

   Add in the herald for HM forces from 1920? Bit unpatriotic.

   So par for the course.
